Have you ever wondered about the lives of women during the 18th Century? Becky Liegl spent a week at the George Washington Teacher Institute at Mount Vernon last summer and will share her experience learning about Martha Washington and the lives of women during the 18th century using primary sources, research from top female historians, and even ways to engage young women and men through picture books. What a great way to celebrate Women’s History Month!
